Yesterday I finally got myself a cane, making it much easier to walk, yay! However, it's boooooring! Just a plane jane cane (hehe), and I would like to spruce it up. Mine is very similar to the pic (but mine is dark wood). Any ideas?

Could you not print out photos of all your animals and then like.. decoupage ( is that the technique I am thinking of????) stick the on however you like glue under and over it, and then cover with a clear coat of something protective?? that would look sooo awesome! and it would be a story to tell too!

I think that would be sooooo aweseome!!! just cover it all over with special photos!! what I am thinking is that you would cut out each animal around their outline in that photo, cover the entire cane in glue, stick them all on how you want, I am thinking cover every inch, there is a craft glue that you use and glue on top too, then coat it with a protective clear coat, I really think that would be really neat!

decoupage would be nice, just make sure you seal it otherwise when it gets damp it will get very sticky! Personally since I'm into beading, I'd probably bead over a good portion of it...but then that would take a loooonnng time..go with the decoupage!!

Yeah Gary and I were talking, he thinks decoupage would be awesome, but thinks the beads are too girly for me, lol. And I'd worry about them breaking. Plus I haven't done any weaving with beads in more than 20 years, so I will go with the decoupage

Oooooh, that is a great idea! I think that would work better too, less chance of it breaking. Plus, I love anything shiny (as hubby says, way something sparkly in front of me and you'll have my undevided attention! ).
